yeti X
PREMIUM USB MIC FOR
RECORDING AND STREAMING
QUICK START GUIDE
Congratulations on your new Yeti X microphone. Designed for serious streamers, Yeti X is a state-of-the-art flagship USB microphone for professional-level gaming, Twitch™ streaming, podcasting and YouTube™ productions.
Featuring high-res LED metering, a multi-function smart knob, customizable LED lighting, Blue VO!CE broadcast effects and advanced software integration with G HUB, Yeti X is the ultimate tool for pro-level streaming and building your audience.
Yeti X is a plug ‘n play device, with minimal setup and no drivers required. Here’s how to get Yeti X up and running for the first time:
1.Connect Yeti X to your computer with the included USB cable. Insert the smaller USB Micro B connector into the port on the underside of the mic, then plug the larger USB-A connector into any USB port on your computer. Yeti X will power on automatically.
2.Plug your headphones into the headphone jack on the underside of the mic. If you don’t hear anything right away, make sure the microphone isn’t muted, and that the microphone gain and headphone volume are turned up. The Blend control should be centered to make sure both mic input and playback are audible. (see the “Multi-Function Smart Knob and LED Metering” section for how to do this).
3.Set Yeti X as your default audio device. Go into the audio settings in Windows, Mac OS, Twitch, Skype, Discord or any other programs you use, and select Yeti X as the default input and output device.
4.Adjust the settings to your liking, and off you go! By default, Yeti X is set to cardioid mode, with the smart knob controlling microphone gain. See the Multi-Function Smart Knob, Pickup Patterns and Blue VO!CE sections to learn how to fine-tune Yeti X’s sound.
QUICK TIP
Yeti X is a side-address microphone, which means that you should speak into the front of the mic (the side with the Blue logo), and not the top of the mic. See the Pickup Patterns section for more information on proper mic placement.
